Heavenly Father, we begin this month asking You for grace and insight. We likewise ask a blessing on the little people of our state, the little people or our constituencies – children in schools, the sick in hospital or home, the aged and elderly, the homeless, single parents, anyone suffering discrimination of any kind, the hopelessly poor.

This grand Chamber is here for them as well as for the healthy and the fortunate. Let the work done here this day be motivated by care for the entirety of our state. We bring You this need and all our private needs in trust and faith, longing for true peace and justice. Amen.

The Speaker appointed the following to act as Honorary Pages for the Day, to serve without compensation: Thomas William Smith III, Joshua Farrar, David Bickel, Jenah Bickel, Faith Bickel, Laney Rabun and Stevie Rabun.
